June 22, 2015Q.Planting Wisteria seeds
Do I need to do anything specific with the seeds? I collected a number of pods. I got 4 pots and planted 8 seeds in each pot about 1 inch down. I've had the pots in the ground by my tomatoes for 2 weeks and nothing has come up. Do I need to nick the seeds like morning glories, or wet them or something else? Is it better to try rooting from cuttings? We currently have the one wisteria plant at the back corner of our yard growing on the wood fence. We would like to plant more wisteria along the fence line.

June 22, 2015Q.White spots on leaves
I have been growing a baby wisteria so far indoors. Eventually, when it's big enough to withstand weather conditions, I hope to plant it outside. Currently though, I have noted white splotches on the leaves. What could be the cause and how do I address the situation?

June 22, 2015A.If they are chalky, it could be the type of water your are using. It may be mineral deposits building up. Watering with a distilled water will stop this. If they are fuzzy, this is mealybug and this article will help you treat it: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/mealybugs-white-residue-on-plants-leaves.htm

June 23, 2015Q.wisteria vines
We have a large wisteria vine at my father in laws home. We would like to dig it up and bring it to our home and replant it. It is grown up into an arbor that he has made. How and what would be the easiest way to do this to ensure we do not cause injury to the plant? And what time of the year would be the best to do this? He had waited for many years for it to bloom and this year it finally did and he was not alive to see it. It is very special to us. Thanks for all your help.

June 23, 2015Q.Wisteria
Some of the wisteria branches are getting so big and heavy they are too heavy for the arbor. What is the best way to cut these back so we can reinforce the arbor? Most of these are the main branch. The plant is about 12 yrs. old and blooms every year. I've always kept it trimmed back but not the heavy branches resting on the arbor itself. Thank you for any advice you can give me.

June 23, 2015A.I would guess that the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio is off. The soil may have an abundance of nitrogen, which would result in nice, healthy green growth but little to no blooms. Without the right amount of phosphorus, it will not bloom well. Bone meal is a great way to add phosphorus. This article will also help:

June 25, 2015Q.Wisteria
I've had my wisteria for about 6 years. The main trunk is about 2 feet tall. It has never bloomed. However, foliage covered a wooden arbor. Last August we had a hurricane and the arbor blew over. We had to cut away the vine and only the trunk remained. Now lots of foliage is growing all over the trunk and a couple of very thin vines are starting to climb the arbor. Is there anything I should do at this point to help the plant along and encourage blooms? Thank you!
